The Latest Updates in Technology
For more than a decade, we at Fabricating & Metalworking Online have carried stories on the latest machines and equipment to hit the market. Take a look at our latest updates, go back in our archives to see what we’ve written about in the past.
Filter by Process Zone:
Highly Productive Heavy Duty Turning and Milling of Large Parts
The You Ji VTL-1200ATC+C swing vertical turning lathe from Absolute Machine Tools is suitable for aerospace, oil-field and energy operations, and can be customized to meet any production requirement.
Mill/Turn Center Produces Parts Faster than Twin Spindle, Single Turret Machines
With up to five tools in the cut simultaneously, the LICO LND-65D-S3 from Absolute Machine Tools is an 11-axis mill/turn center that can often produce parts faster than conventional machines.
Air Wipe Blows Off, Dries, Cleans or Cools Material Passing Through It
For wiping wire, drying inks, cooling hot extruded shapes, and blowoff of water, plating, coatings and dust, the 3/8 in Super Air Wipe from EXAIR produces a 360 deg airstream that can blow off, dry, clean or cool the material passing through it.
IMTS 2018 Showtime: Metal Cutting
These advanced systems are the very foundation of the machine tool industry, where you’ll find the
latest innovations in metal cutting equipment, machining centers, turning centers, drilling, boring, milling, and more.
Bridge-Type Machining for Mold and Aerospace Precision
With the spindle center line being closer to the supporting structure, the dual column bridge-type BX50i from Hurco minimizes machine distortion and thermal deformation and increases rigidity with maximum support to the head casting.
Bridge Mills for High Speed Machining of Large Parts at a Reduced Cost
The long base casting of Johnford DMC LH Series double-column moving table bridge mills from Absolute Machine Tools provides complete support of the table over the full X-axis travel so that massive loads can be machined.
Innovative Manufacturing for the Factory of the Future
A wide range of high speed milling, EDM, laser texturing, additive manufacturing, micromachining, automation, tooling and connectivity systems from GF Machining Solutions are designed for manufacturing automotive, aerospace, medical, information and communications technology, electrical components, and mold and die components.
What is Possible with Deep Hole Drilling?
Deep hole gundrilling, BTA drilling, bottle boring and skiving/roller burnishing machines from UNISIG can make components for medical, aerospace, die and mold, automotive, oil and gas, energy, firearms and hydraulic cylinder applications, as well as the tools used to produce those components.
High Speed Horizontal Machining in a Compact Footprint
The Tongtai SH-5000P Horizontal Machining Center from Absolute Machine Tools can exceed the demands of any shop with high volume machining needs.
Ultra-Precision Machining for Stamping, Fine Blanking, Electric Motor Stator Die Tooling
The UP6 HEAT wire EDM with HyperDrive Extreme wire drive and wire threading system from Makino uses AC motor tensioning to expand the range and stability of wire tension, reduce maintenance, provide both Jet and Jet-less threading modes, and rethread the wire in the gap at a break point.
High Volume Gundrilling of Scroll Compressor Drive Shafts
The DeHoff 518 Cell from Kays Engineering uses nine gundrilling spindles to drill opposing holes in balanced throughput: three on a single machine base for the larger diameter shorter hole, and six others on two separate machine bases for the smaller diameter deeper hole.
Turning Centers for Heavy, Chatter-Free Cutting and Improved Part Finish
Ideal for jet engine builders machining hard aerospace alloys, the V 1600 mid-range vertical lathe from Fives Giddings & Lewis incorporates a hydrostatic ram to maximize rigidity and a programmable infinitely-adjustable cross rail positioning axis that allows shops to minimize ram extension.
